Id go so far as to say that Ive reinvented myself as a learning professional. And this is definitely not one of those things that Im learning for the first time, but here goes: Motivation is everything!

Atleast in India, I guess most of us strictly follow Blooms Taxonomy and frame learning objectives. Belatedly, Im thinking that there are relatively easy ways to enable learners to have cake or to eat it as they see fit. Im not sure I suggested writing WIIFM learning objectives, but they probably have their uses.

Im a linear reader in recovery and have been actively learning how to skim books and not feel guilty about it. Lots of practical ideas and examples for turning basic teaching points into learning games -- from casual games to teach facts and concepts, to detailed simulations that teach procedures and problem solving.

e-Learning should be all neat and tied up in a nice wrapper with a Next button that moves you through a content checklist and a great assessment at the end. This may be why the concept of informal learning is such a hard sell. But Im learning. Forget about it. A PLE can be messy. Its personal, after all.

How much of the pedagogy used by IDs is less to do with learning and more to do with design? And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. Why, I do not know, as generally speaking, the user guides I write are more complex than the training materials I create.

And then remind them why they still have to learn this stuff. Michael Allen urges designers to provide "meaningful and memorable learning experiences." In Michael Allens Guide to e-Learning he reminds us to motivate the learner by giving them the WIIFM (whats in it for me). wait, Im getting verbose.

Her statement is in keeping with traditional instructional design theory that says that learning objectives help learners organize their learning efforts. Its presumptuous and confining for developers to foist objectives on learners, for it disregards the learners needs, prior learning, and context. 11:21 PM Cammy Bean said.

Tony, Id be delighted if this question were expanded to the larger Learning Circuits audience. But Im not sure I can get people to hold their answers back.
